Money exchangee wondered

[fountainhall]

Indeed I check the spread between buy and sell at money exchange booths. In Thailand it can be under 1%, in airports in Europe I saw spreads of 30%.

The spread at the exchange booths at Bangkok's airports has just got higher and higher. They used to be the same as in town. Now the spread seems to be around 10%. Same at the official money changers in Hong Kong. There, always change cash at a bank's foreign exchange counter for far more favourable rates.

Currently on Superrich, Euro 100-500 notes: buy 37.6; sell 37.65; that's a spread of 0.13%;
xe.com 37.71 THB for 1 Euro; that means on superrich I lose 0.3% versus xe.com.

I always thought the xe rates are midpoint interbank rates. So currency exchange buying and selling rates will very.
